PLEASE!!! Come back and finish this amazing story!

Agreeing with all the reviewers --this story is magic, and I'm biting my nails, it hasn't been updated for months... Please don't leave it, them, or us hanging.. We need more.. At least a kiss , or two, or a night..your two combattants en amour have just confessed about their arid hearts. Pieta! Come,muses, and deign to smile, strewing words out of your hands.

'Fink_  Nottle'..Hm, Jeeves, methinks? l love this story, am enchanted,and should really sleep, but the new words, the innuendoes, wit and the hidden trail of story-wandering, ah, yes, called  the plot, and nakkid Severus camping outside,..... This is Favourited;     promise, promise to keep writing fanfic, it is gorgeous and addictive.

She is efficient, and strong-willed. Oh, the  poor man; God, the Ministryis a soulless, scrupleless, heartless machine. What devilry.. Please, do let him speak about some of the burden to HG, and let them find a sneaky, powerful and lasting solution to his woes.  Some way that will 'bite Harry -  The- Forgetful's arse,'...;hm.....through feeling pangs of true guilt.

Oh my goodness, I hope you're still updating this story because this is a cruel place to leave us hanging!

Either way, though, I love your writing, particularly the way you write Severus' voice, with just the right mixture of condescension and vulnerability. Very well done!

Oh!  What's going to happen next?  Is it good or bad?  And what is Severus going to do about the whole spying on Hermione for the Ministry thing?  Yikes!  Looking forward to the next chapter.  Thank you!

Loving this!  Thank you!

Excellent!  A great story so far.  I very much enjoy the friendship growing between Severus and Hermione.  I like that Hermione is going her own way and making her life. I'm very intrigued to see where the interesting twists in the story go.  Thank you. 

thats alot to think about.

So that's how Hermione came by her scar.  Brilliant way for it to happen and for Severus not to have hexed her.  Nagini was a nasty piece of work!I know Severus feels indebted to Hermione now, but I hope he will be able to get past these feelings of obligation and begin to see them as the gesture of caring and respect that caused Hermione to save his life.  I wonder what he will think about as he reads over the notebooks he'd copied.  I can't wait to find out what happens next.  Thank you for posting these updates... I really do love this story!Beth

In case you need reminding, I died for this.You? You weren't even there for the worst of it. You were in St Mungo’s, after doing something monumentally stupid.Hummmmm.  What was the monumentally stupid thing Hermione did?  Did it have something to do with how she received her scar?  And what were the compromises Harry had made so that the greatest number of people can live safe, happy lives?  I suspect sending Severus to Azkaban for twenty years was the one that disappointed Hermione the most.  But the biggest question of all is how and why did Severus give Hermione that scar?Quite the chapter you have here!  Well done.Beth

Oh goodness! Silly people with their silly emotions.  Can't we all just be friends!?  :) Anyway, hopefully Snape gets over his pride and angst soon and comes back!

Thank you for the very prompt update! Yours is one of my favorite fics that I enjoy rereading, so it is a always a joy to see a new chapter.

This one was poignant and intense (want to go and hug all characters - especially Hermione left standing in the tent. :))

Now it will be awkward for Snape to spy on Hermione, since he feels being in her debt. Actually, it is one of the great features of your fic - layers of double-crossing coupled with emotional depth of both characters, and how Snape finds himself in a completely different setting but in a similar position as before, a secret agent with dubious loyalties.

What a moving moment, the explanation about her face and his near-death. I love the character voices you've given them both. This is a favourite story of mine and I'm glad to see it continuing.

Very interesting chapter and a clever way to explain her injuries.  What a prat Harry is though, letting him suffer in prison and not saying anything to clear him.  Severus feels he certainly deserves what he has been given considering all that he has done so it is understandable that he would plea guilty.  No wonder Hermione has no use for Potter any more.  Hopefully Severus will be able to realize and understand Hermione's actions and give her a chance without being obstinate and letting his temper get in the way.

Whoa! You knocked me back on that one. I didn't quite understand what Harry was on about in the letter but I am guessing Hermione missed the battle or somehow battled Snape? Love the story and your writing. Well done!

Snape had a very close call here.  I was afraid for a minute that he was going to be in much worse shape.  Thanks to Hermione's quick action (and study of PIE) he's back to normal.  Glad she finally noticed that he has a penis.  Beth

Ohhhhh... wow. I was trying to figure out how he'd hurt her. Ingenious... but now he feels even more guilty, I'm sure. Nice update!

Great Chapter.  I always thought a living Snape would be a huge inconvenience in he Wizarding world. Dead, he could be acknowledged for his part in winning the war and then forgotten/ignored. Alive he would be reviled (after all a whole generation of wizards would have been subjected to seven years of torment as students, plus being a Death Eater and killer of AD). They could never get past that. This chapter reflected what we know human nature to be.  Thanks.

Usually I only read completed stories - because I can't cope with cliff hangers! But I am very glad I started to read your story. Very HAPPY!

You write an intriguing tale, easily one of the best currently in writing.  I can't wait to read more!

Facinating story! Can't wait to see what Snape decides to do and what happens!

"She crossed and opened the door, and he entered in a swirl of robes. Hermione’s throat constricted painfully—this was not yesterday’s shirtsleeved and agreeable colleague. This was full-strength, undiluted Professor scare-the-shit-out-of-you Snape."Absolutely brilliant! I am loving this story  Thanks for a new and refreshingly believable story and characters.

You are racheting up the tension very nicely, I look forward to the next chapter!

I liked it. Evil cliffie, though...
